No. Why would you take a dog into a wildlife park?

I am sorry I do not think so, you could ask the owners but it is unlikely. Hope you one and enjoy your stay. There is also the Koala Park it had more Koalas and excellent viewing. I don't think they allow people to hold the Koalas but yo can always ask. Cheers Ted

It is illegal in Victoria to handle Koalas

buy ticket at the venue. Spend at least 2 hours.

They are open 9 to 5, with the last entry at 4.30pm. Hope it helps :)

Yep, $17 per adult, $8.50 child up to 14. Family entry is $46. All includes a bag of food in which to feed the kangaroos/wallabies or other animals you may be able to attract.

Yes you can just drive straight to the penguins, but they are at the far end of the island so you must allow extra time, I would say at least 3 hours. They come in at sunset (watch out for wildlife +++ on the roads) and so depending on when you go there you may have to deal with Melbourne peakhour traffic on the way down. If you know the date I would book online, just in case, you can also pay extra for better positions if you want to do so. Some of the best viewing is when you walk back after the beach viewing. We have sent overseas friends on an afternoon evening bus tour to the penguins which they really enjoyed and you don't have to do the driving. I think these tours leave Fed Square around lunchtime. Entertainment book usually has a 2 for the price of one deal for this tour. Groupon often does as well. Enjoy!

I concur with the above recommendation for renting a car. The penguin parade starts at dusk. Definitely worth the trip down to see these little guys. Bring warm clothes and binoculars. The binoculars was something I wish I had when we went. With respect to clothes, Layers and at least a wind breaker.
